Stop China's Crackdown on Tibet
Target: The United Nations and Olympic Games OfficialsSponsored by: Care2
Violence against protesters, monks and civilians in Tibet is quickly escalating as the deadly crackdown continues.
Only a few months away from the Beijing Summer Olympics, the Chinese government's violent attacks have already caused the death of around 100 people, while hundreds continue to be shot at, beat up and detained by China's security forces.
The atrocities committed to control these protests are a reminder of China's record of human rights abuses. The protests won't undermine the Olympics in China, but the brutal repression and use of force against the people of Tibet will.
We need you to sign this petition to the Olympic Games Officials and the United Nations to make sure help is on the way for the people of Tibet.

I am disgusted that you have allowed things to get this far and would like to know why you havent done anything yet? China is on the world stage at the moment yet you allow there actions to go unchecked. As a part of your group this is supposed to be your responsibility! If you haven't the confidence to take action where its really needed then could you please point me in the direction of someone who does have it? Perhaps the Olympic Games Officials should have a more compitent capable of action and enforcement of there own rules.

I went to Tibet in 2000 and witnessed first hand the division of Lhasa into the Chinese more modern side, and the Tibetan traditional side. We talked with nuns and monks who told us of the religious oppression, and it was hard to believe until we saw the evidence. It was ridiculous to us to see the Chinese government trying to put up telephone lines across the gorgeous, untouched landscape, while the children didn't have pencils. In the eight years that have passed, things have only gotten worse. A wise Tibetan told me that it was only a matter of time before things started getting really bad politically, because Tibet has so much room for the ethnic Chinese to move into - in a country where overpopulation is still enormous. But the ethnic culture and traditions of the Tibetans are being erased in one of the most devastating cultural genocides of our age.
